Distributed networking is when you have multiple computers or 'nodes' that are connected together through the internet. You can think of each node as a separate computer with their own memory, processing power and other capabilities. When you need to use a certain set of resources or data, the nodes can share information between themselves, instead of relying on a single, central server or computer. This way, a distributed network can more easily share files, data, and resources between all its nodes, making it more reliable, efficient, and powerful.
